JAKARTA: Deputy chairman of the National Commission on Human
Rights (Komnas HAM) Solahuddin Wahid said on Wednesday that no
political party had officially offered him a chance to be their
vice presidential candidate in the July election.

He also said that he had told the National Awakening Party not
to pair its presidential or vice presidential candidates with
former military officers.

Students and victims of violence involving the Indonesia
Military (TNI) had asked him not to become a running mate for
any presidential candidates with a military background.

Two retired Army generals, Wiranto and Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono, are eying the presidential post in the July 5
election. --JP
